Hi,
Are there any plans to support child windows in SDL 2 (very needed for cross-platform UIs on top of SDL) ? This could be a function like SDL_CreateChildWindow(). The current border-less window is shown in the task bar making glut style menus pollute the task bar.
I doubt there are any plans - partly because child windows are primarily a Windows-ism, they are not normally used on X11 (but do work) and don’t exist on OSX.On 03/10/2012 08:23 PM, farakon wrote:

If memory serves well, we used to set the CWOverrideRedirect | CWSaveUnder flags in X11 to make menu windows (might be mistaken), are there equivalent flags to create menu windows in SDL 2 (no taskbar shortcut for the window - don’t tell the window manager about this window) ?
